Disability Benefits for CFIDS

Chronic Fatigue (CFIDS) Disability Benefits

Chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, is a potentially debilitating medical condition characterized by feelings of extreme tiredness and a significant reduction in stamina. Sufferers may also experience a variety of symptoms that may include joint and muscle pain, inability to sleep, headaches, sore throat and problems with concentration and short-term memory.

CFIDS is difficult for physicians to diagnose, and there is no known cause or cure for the affliction. The lack of a cure means physicians must resort to treating the symptoms instead of eliminating the condition entirely. According to CFIDS Association of America, CFIDS affects approximately one million people in the U.S. and millions more around the world.

A Social Security Disability Lawyer for Chronic Fatigue May Be Able to Help

Because chronic fatigue syndrome is a chronic condition that is incurable, it can prevent sufferers from working for an extended period of time. If you are unable to work for 12 months or more, you may be eligible to receive Social Security Disability benefits to replace a portion of your lost income. Disability lawyers for chronic fatigue may be able to assist you in receiving the benefits you need to maintain your quality of life.

What Can Disability Attorneys for CFIDS Do for You?

A disability attorney for chronic fatigue can help you navigate the complicated Social Security claims process, from the initial application all the way through the conclusion of the appeal process. The need to appeal is not uncommon, as approximately 65 percent of initial applications for SSD benefits are denied. A disability attorney for chronic fatigue typically has a better understanding of the claims process than the layperson, which can be an important advantage when it comes to successfully dealing with the Social Security Administration and its myriad rules and regulations.
